Blizzard in Boston

I just peeked out of my hotel window here in Boston, and the sun is trying to peek out of its windows in the clouds. According to Weather.com, it’s currently a balmy 30 degrees (feels like 17, though!) and the temperatures will be dropping down to the low 20s by this evening.

Why the New England weather report on the Jazz blog?

It was so bad the Jazz didn’t travel to the arena to do their usual gameday morning shootaround to prep for the Celtics.

The good news: There is only a 10 percent chance of precipitation the rest of the day, so there’s no reason to believe inclement weather will cause any more delays or cancellations the rest of the day.
